Marshawn Lynch National Anthem – CWEB.com

Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch sat during the national anthem over the weekend, ahead of a Saturday preseason game against the Arizona Cardinals, the AP reports. I dont see how sitting during the national anthem is a strong statement. Our flag and anthem stand for the ideals of fighting oppression and equality for all under the law. Those ideals are good.

Lynch did not speak to reporters after the game and has not explained why he sat.
